Hi.

dblink generates orphaned connections when we failed on performing dblink() 
function.
# But it occurs only when dblink('conn_str', 'sql', true). See following 
examples.

==============================================================================
$ pslq local

local=# SELECT datname, procpid, current_query FROM pg_stat_activity
        WHERE pg_backend_pid() <> procpid;
 datname | procpid | current_query
---------+---------+---------------
(0 rows)

local=# SELECT * FROM dblink('dbname=remote', 'SELECT * FROM no_exist') AS t1 
(aid bigint);
ERROR:  relation "no_exist" does not exist
CONTEXT:  Error occurred on dblink connection named "unnamed": could not 
execute query.

local=# SELECT datname, procpid, current_query FROM pg_stat_activity
        WHERE pg_backend_pid() <> procpid;
 datname | procpid | current_query
---------+---------+---------------
 remote  |   29620 | <IDLE>
(1 row)

local=# SELECT * FROM dblink('dbname=remote', 'SELECT * FROM no_exist') AS t1 
(aid bigint);
ERROR:  relation "no_exist" does not exist
CONTEXT:  Error occurred on dblink connection named "unnamed": could not 
execute query.

local=# SELECT datname, procpid, current_query FROM pg_stat_activity
        WHERE pg_backend_pid() <> procpid;
 datname | procpid | current_query
---------+---------+---------------
 remote  |   29620 | <IDLE>
 remote  |   29630 | <IDLE>
(2 rows)
==============================================================================

I think that the dblink should not ereport() before PQfinish(conn) in
dblink_record_internal() when we use temporary connection.

Attached the brief patch to avoid above problem.
